So apparently my job description is changing again. I no longer recruit, but I am being taught how to handle the agent files because our Aliso office manager is out on disability and we won't know for how long until her appointment a week from now. When I'm not in Newport, I'm covering for her absence and catching up on the file work from the days when a regular receptionist covers the Aliso office.

Interesting.

This can be good or not so good, we'll see how things develop. I'm leaning towards "good". Especially with sales production starting to rise these days.

I second the wisdom of the statement.

Eeek. I hope it's something minor so that it can get better. Definitely better to get things checked out.

Bye bye scorpion (I kind of feel the same). Astral hugs to the kitty.

We have had those. I have too much carp on the floor to use them regularly. On the bright side, it didn't disturb the cat or either dog. They would sit and watch it but not be freaked out by it.

How are the cats reacting to it? I know ours would be clinging to the ceiling.

at least then it could vacuum under them

you must let me know what you think of it.
do you have carpet? or mostly hardwoods?

Seriously, my cat doesn't seem to mind the vacuum cleaner. Pull out a broom, on the other hand, and he's outta there. Makes me suspect some foul play with a broom - not sure why, though, considering Markus lived in a shelter for over a year.

Well, for the 5 minutes that it ran during the demo, they jumped. (It was speaking and showing off its features. Kinda freaky, really.) It's now in the charging dock, and they keep sniffing at it and then looking up at me with really pissed off expressions. :evil:

We have laminate wood flooring. I'm hoping it lives up to its expectations or I'm taking it back.

Besides kitty litter, we also have bunny bedding, bird food, and fur tufts on the floor daily. If it picks up those things, I'll be very happy.

If it picks these things up, I'm buying one.

1. Are those puppies some kind of polar bear mix? I didn't know ursine and canine could mate successfully!

2. LPSE, oh sweetie, when will it stop? This may be more difficult while you're grieving ... but when it comes to your own health, please resist the natural urge to be frightened. Your attitude can work wonders, and it's easier to influence your own health before the influence of a formal diagnosis works its will on your mind. Think healthy. Be confident of health. To the extent you can.

Good luck and much love from these quarters.

Puppies!
